Jenny and I did a bunch of stuff this weekend, although right now it all seems a little more than blurry. As I laid in bed last night I thought about all the things I wanted to mention today, but sadly today I can only remember a handful of things. Is old age setting in already?
With the help of the federal government, I took my GST cheque and got a well deserved haircut and returned to my chocolate brown tresses. What a world of difference just a few inches from my hair makes! I wonder why I spent so many years as a blonde!
So with no real plans for Saturday night, Jenny and I decided to hit up a movie. After a few minutes reviewing all of the Oscar buzzed movie choices in town, we decided to bite the bullet and see Twilight.
The Book Club read Twilight long before I decided to join and most of them enjoyed the book, and recommended that I read it. In my mind, I figured I could give reading the book a try, if I enjoyed the movie. We went to the movie with high hopes, especially after hearing the tizz so many girls had made about it. After all, Jenny and I were just as romantic as the next girl, and while vampires weren’t exactly my thing, I could over look it if the story was good enough.
But Twilight was the worst movie ever. Seriously. WORST MOVIE EVER.
Now, please stop crying. I realize I just offended 90% of the world and most of my blog readers with that comment. If you like it, that is awesome (Surprisingly, not everyone loved Dan In Real Life.) but please don’t make me watch it again.
What was so wrong with it? Where should I even start?
1. Everyone is so pale, humans as well as vampires. Do us all a favour and invest in some tanning cream or blush. At the very least, eat more vegetables!
2. Bella, what’s your damage? Stop walking around like everyone hates you. Stop thinking everything is about you. People at school were trying to be nice to you. Your dad takes you out for steak every week!
3. A half cute boy just asked you to the prom, and you just blow him off? Why? So you can chase after a weird, moody, over-dramatic, creepy eyebrowed vampire?
4. Wait, you love this vampire? This guy who is extremely dangerous, could eat you at any minute? A guy that you have really only known for a couple of weeks, you have just declared you undying love for him? Give your head a shake; something is not always better than nothing.
So despite its two hour running time, the movie felt like a life time. A life time of over dramatic, super intense, way too creepy, lame discussions with only five minutes of any sort of action at the end, just to keep us all from falling asleep.
Jenny actually had to poke me not to miss the intensely disturbing kissing scene because I spent the second half of the movie texting various people to keep occupied.
Alright, my bash is finished. Convince me I am wrong. Tell me that this movie was the greatest piece of cinematography and will be the new movie by which all subsequent movies will be judged. Tell me how much I will love the book. That despite it being even more dramatic than Gone With The Wind, that it is an absolute must read.
I give you permission to write a whole blog entry about how horrible The Beatles are. (But we both know that isn’t true.)
Back at the grind for another week. Thankfully January has gone by so fast, and with the warmer temperatures with us for most of the week, it feels like spring will be here before we know it.
Keep doing what you’re doing. So far, so good.
As Always,

My co-worker tried to convince me that Twilight is a great piece of literature. Possibly entertaining but great literature? I think not.
That's a book and movie I'll pass on (and why can't I spell Twilight? I always want to add an extra gh - Twighlight).
I didn't say to go watch it! I thought the first book had potential, but the more I heard/read about it, the more I realized that it was a huge flop.
Thus I knew the movie would be too since it was made by some Indie chick and the lead guy is ugly.
